Neil Chapman is one of North Americas most inspiring guitarists. As well as being a first call session player, having recorded with the likes of Dan Hill, Rita McNeil, Rough Trade, The Sattallites, Heat Exchange, Zombo Zombo, Bill King's Saturday Nite Fish Fry and Alan Frew, he has played on stage with many great artists such as Leonard Cohen, Carol Pope, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Randy Bachman, Leroy Sibbles, Toots and the Maytals, and Maestro Fresh Wes.

Along with Graeme Williamson and Tony Duggan-Smith, Neil is a founding member of Canada's “National Treasure” THE PUKKA ORCHESTRA, and the offshoots Neotone and Autocondo. 

In 2003 Neil released his critically acclaimed solo album HOPE IN HELL, and is about to release his new album HOLLYWOOD WORLD, that he recorded with special guest appearances by David Wilcox, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Hugh Marsh, Johnny Johnson, and Emilie Claire Barlow and produced by Bruce Fowler.

Neil is currently touring with his good buddy John "The Fogman" Burkitt and their southern rock band ZEDHEAD (www.zedhead.ca) in support of their album TEXAS CUFFLINKS, as well as getting ready to hit the road with Russ Walker and Tony Duggan-Smith and their cult hit band AUTOCONDO (www.autocondo.ca) sometime in mid 2009. Neil can also be seen playing guitar and bass with the legendary Buffy Sainte-Marie.

When not touring, Neil keeps busy writing and recording music for documentaries, television and corporate events. As an "Event Musician", Neil enjoys being band leader and playing live for the corporate crowd throughout the world with his band BIG ROCK ENDING.

Neil's newest CD "Happy Everything", unique instrumental guitar arrangements of five holiday tunes, is now available through this website.

In Neil's words...."Rock hard or don't rock at all"
